Advanced Surgical Procedures

Lung Resection Surgery

Lung resection is the surgical removal of all or part of the lung. The lung has three parts (called lobes) on the right side and two on the left. Often, an operation for lung cancer involves removing part or all of a lobe.

Types of Resection

  • Lobectomy (most common)
  • Segmentectomy
  • Wedge resection
  • Pneumonectomy (when necessary)

Surgical Benefits

  • Complete tumor removal
  • Minimally invasive options available
  • Faster recovery with VATS
  • Reduced side effects

VATS & Robotic Surgery

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) or Robotic Lobectomy may be possible depending on cancer's size and location. With VATS, several tiny incisions are made in the chest through which the surgeon inserts instruments and a small video camera that projects images onto a computer monitor.

VATS Advantages

  • Smaller incisions
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster return to normal activities

Robotic Surgery Benefits

  • Enhanced precision
  • 3D visualization
  • Improved dexterity
  • Better outcomes

State-of-the-Art Technology: Our specialists apply a wide array of advanced techniques, including VATS and Robotic Surgery to cure patients by removing and killing cancerous tissue while minimizing impact on healthy tissue.

Additional Treatment Options

Pleurodesis

Used to alleviate the effects of pleural effusion - abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space that can constrict the lungs.

Symptoms Treated:

  • • Shortness of breath
  • • Fast heart rate (tachycardia)
  • • Difficulty breathing when lying flat

Treatment: Chemical pleurodesis involves injecting a chemical agent into the pleural space to eliminate the space and prevent fluid accumulation.

PleurX Catheter

A thin, flexible tube placed in the pleural space to drain fluid accumulation associated with pleural effusion.

Procedure Benefits:

  • • Minimally invasive procedure
  • • Local anesthetic only
  • • Small chest incision
  • • Gentle suction drainage

Convenience: Connected to a small bottle that uses gentle suction to drain fluid, allowing for outpatient management.
